Growlers?

Log Item: I'm usually not the first person to gravitate to after market items on a motorcycle, however the two-into-one Growler exhaust system has the appeal of a louder, throatier system that the stock one-into-one Ducati exhausts. 

What do you think?

My sense is that a motorcycle has to be annoyingly loud without being completely obnoxious.

Stock Diavel, stock pipes.

I did some research. From what I have learned, Ducati performed a number of noise tests including focus groups to find out how loud was loud enough without disturbing people... So that's the tuned Ducati exhausts that I have.

From a style perspective, the stock exhausts look good. They really do. But they are not loud enough.

Log Item: Annoying old people. A couple, fifty-something going on about one hundred, had some less than flattering remarks about the bike and me. I barely know this gentrifying couple, but they hang with my sister-in-law. They have boring jobs, a boring house and go on boring vacations, don't listen to Metalica, likely think themselves too old for sexual intercourse, etc.  That's all on them.

They made a comment that I'm too old to ride a motorcycle, projecting their boring lives onto my life and presuming that they know me (which they really don't) and my preferences, which include riding the devil.

I don't pity the gentrifying/ossifying/dead at 50 couple. Life offers you two things -- only two. Life, and the ability to choose how you are going to live it. We all can choose.
